Play style

Hickl maintains a characteristic style of play that is known in German chess circles as "Einhickln". He often opens with 1. g2 – g3 as white and 1.… d7 – d6 as black and strives for closed positions in which he initially limits the development of his pieces to the first three rows of his half of the board. Hickl describes this style of play, which others often regard as passive, as "controlled defense" and justifies it with his rather moderate knowledge of theory. The king's fianchetto is also used as an opening.
